Hyperspace Pinball is alot of fun, but it may be a strain on the eyes as the visuals are very bright and colorful. This shouldn't be too much of an issue on a PC. Were it for Android or iOS I can well imagine that it could generate comments like "it makes my eyes bleed."
So far I have stuck with playing the game in Campaign Mode*, but there are also the Boss Runs and Endurance Mode. There are 13 achievements that you can earn, of which I currently have earned 6. Most recently I earned 'Rack 'em Up' by hitting or surpassing 10 million points in one game. There is a leaderboard. I'm currently ranked 10th Worldwide and 2nd amoung my friends. I had been ranked 31st but then subsequently fell to the mid 80s. So I had to climb my way back up the charts. My other Achievements for this game are:
*Centipede Smasher
*Jacked Up
*Perfectionist
*Rack ‘em Up (Earn over 10,000,000 points in a single game in Campaigh Mode)
*Spin Master
*Straight to the Points
If you played this game when it was fairly new, but no longer play it for whatever reason, you may want to give it another go as it has received multiple updates. The developer seems to be working hard to address any issues. Here is a short list of some of the things that the updates addressed:
*Ball visibility during level changes. The balls are now easier to see when changing levels/going thru portals.
*Flipper strength
*Ball physics off of flippers and bumpers.
*Balls draining between flippers too easily.
*Scoring was too difficult. Now it is somewhat easier.
Some of these issues caused me to stop playing the game for awhile, but all of these items have been addressed, and probably more that I don't know about. I did manage to earn the 'Straight to the Points' achievement for hitting or surpassing 1,000,000 points in a single game (Campaign Mode) before I had originally stopped playing it. But that's not to say that it's a walk in the park now, as I had to play it several times when I started playing it again before I even hit 1,000,000. Now I've surpassed 12 million.
Hyperspace Pinball was developed by Gamieon for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Steam is currently selling it for $4.99.
*I have now played in Endurnace Mode. You get 1 ball and play 'til you die. Unlike Campaign Mode where you are ranked by points, Endurance Mode ranks you by the number of kills. I'm in 21st place on the Leaderboard with 47 kills.
